can anybody identify two butterflies that were in my garden last week,even if i didn,t get a photo of either.the first had similar colours to a peacock but more bluish and only had two eyes at the end of the back wings.the other was larger than a peacock with bright orange wings with a black edging with one row of white spots along the black edge.the black cut the orange into making rectangles all the way from the front of front wing to the back of the rear wing. sorry if the description isn,t good enough but its the best i can do.




moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic

Sorry but without photos I would be no help, especially since you are in England.
